What Is Their Function?
Simple carbs usually last a shorter amount of time but complex carbs last a lot longer. For example, if you had chocolate chip biscuits for lunch, you'd be starving by dinner. But if you had a whole meal sandwich you wouldn't be so hungry.
Why was our Pita Pocket^ such a good source of CHO?
Because it had a lot of healthy things like tomato, and lettuce, and then it had chicken. We only had one each, but it was very filling.
